The Journal of Religion & Education (JRAE) is a tri-annual, peer reviewed journal that publishes original research dealing with religion in public or higher education settings. JRAE currently operates out of the University of Northern Iowa under the direction of Editor-in-chief Michael Waggoner and is published by Routledge.

Aims and Scope
The journal’s main goal is to advance, “public understanding and dialogue on issues at the intersections of religion and education.” JRAE publishes essays, original research and reviews done from diverse areas such as "public or private education at elementary, secondary, or higher education institutions; non-school or community organizations and settings; and formal or informal organizations or groups with religion or spirituality as an integral part of their work."

Founding
Originally titled Religion and Public Education, The Journal of Religion and Education was founded in 1983 by the National Council on Religion and Public Education (NCRPE). It was created out of the need for an understanding of “curricular implications of legal cases and model teaching examples” amidst the increasing tensions surrounding the teaching of religion in public schools. The founding managing editor was Thayer Warshaw, the founding Editor-in-Chief was Charles Kniker and the founding editorial board included Martin Marty, Robert Drinan, Warren Nord and Randall Balmer.
